The National Horseracing Authority confirms that at an Inquiry held at the Flamingo Park Racecourse on Wednesday, 17 July 2019, Jockey E Webber was charged with a contravention of Rule 72.1.25.
This arose in that he misbehaved himself by using vulgar language in relation to a licenced trainer at the Flamingo Park Racecourse on Wednesday 26 June 2019.
Jockey Webber pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Inquiry Board having considered the particulars of this incident found Mr Webber guilty and felt that an appropriate penalty was that Jockey Webber be fined the sum of R5000.
The Board also noted that Jockey Webber was found guilty of a contravention of Rule 72.1.25 on 17 May 2019 and was fined the sum of R10 000 of which R5000 was wholly suspended for a period of one year on condition that he was not found guilty of contravening Rules relating to conduct during this period.
The suspended portion of this penalty (R5000) therefore becomes effective in addition to the penalty meted out today.
He has the right of appeal against both the finding and the penalty imposed.
